Hard drive, and SSD firmwares have had massive issues in the past, including ones causing major filesystem corruption and data loss.

There was even once a bug which, after X hours of SMART recorded usage, would cause the SSD to lockup every hour thereafter: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/oh18a/attention_c...

SSD firmware issues can be very serious.

SSD firmware issues? I think you mean SSD issues that are solved by new firmware?

Not precisely sure what you are saying. If you mean "flaws in the ssd hardware fixed by a firmware update", that probably exists too.

But I meant "faulty firmwares due to bad firmware code, needing updates".
